Gridware Cluster Scheduler / Open Cluster Scheduler 9.0.10 Available (2025-12-15)

Gridware Cluster Scheduler 9.0.10 based on Open Cluster Scheduler 9.0.10 (fka. Grid Engine) is now available. This is a patch release with fixes accumulated over the last month.

If you want to give Open Cluster Scheduler a try in a VM or container, the one-line installer has been updated as well. If you want to test a multi-node setup within local containers, the repo now contains an example based on Docker Compose.

git clone https://github.com/hpc-gridware/quickinstall
cd quickinstall/containers/openSUSE/15.6
docker compose up -d

Wait a short while until installation is finished (1–2 minutes).
